Beginning of Research.

The Beginning of our Research. We only went through Deviantart.com but mostly Youtube.com to research on the meaning of Stop Motion. We had research the definition in wikipedia but it only explains the process and what it's usage is for. Therefore, we went straight to the creativity. we've found many interesting ones but soon realize many used toys to express their story for stop motion. But we've found some interesting ones.

It was interesting as many ideas came into play. It was funny watching us go from 'let's make something simple' to let's try doing space using light and other funny, disturbing and random stuff.

We also found an 'easy tips for stop motion' in Youtube.com. It was really cool.
